Bookroo's summary

In a cozy cave, monster siblings Max, Mattie, Mervin, and Mella each wonder who Mama loves the most. As they compete with humor and quirks, Mama's unexpected answer reveals the boundless nature of her love. Will the monster kids learn that love isn't a competition? Discover the heartwarming twist in this delightful tale of family and affection.

From the publisher

Deep inside the cave, all the monster-kids are asking: Which of us does Mama really love the most? Is it: Eye-poppingly funny Max? Mannerly, spit-sharing Mattie? Slimy-pie maker Mervin? Tar pit diving Mella? Yikes! How will Mama Monster decide? The answer to a familiar childhood question is given a funny-bones twist in this affectionate affirmation of every child’s specialness, and the limitless capacity of a parent’s love.
